The Wisconsin judicial race: This is what democracy looks like

The left is trying to steal another election, but this time they will have to work much harder to do it.

On Wednesday night, liberal Wisconsin state attorney general JoAnne Kloppenburg had a 204-vote lead in the Badger State’s contentious judicial election. She then immediately declared victory. That is what liberals do. When a conservative is ahead, the left tells Americans to “be patient,” and “let the process run its course.” Then when they steal enough votes to take the lead, they tell conservatives that “this has dragged on long enough,” and that “the American people want us to stop fighting and get back to work.”

Not so fast. Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge David Prosser now has a 7,500-vote lead. This is outside the margin where a recount is mandatory. If Kloppenburg wants a recount, she will have to pay for it herself. She will be fine, since unions will just forcibly raise the dues of their members through various intimidation tactics. This is the very reason Governor Scott Walker passed the bill restricting the power of unions to break the law.

Judge Prosser is the most non-controversial individual on Earth. He is even boring by white male Wisconsin standards. His only crime during a distinguished and yet publicly uneventful career was to belong to the same political party as Governor Walker.

While the left will caution against Republicans celebrating too early, a 200-vote liberal proclamation of victory should surely be grounds for a 7,500-vote conservative coronation.

Now for a message to every leftist who slogged from around the country to Wisconsin to try and disrupt decent society: This is what democracy looks like!

The world is a better place today as every Wisconsin union thug is either in a fetal position sucking their thumb or trying to explain why this was really a victory because they “sent a message.”

Let me send a message to them: Game over. The left is an aging former high-priced call girl refusing to admit that her glory days are gone. Seventy-five-year-old prostitutes do not fare well. They become madams for a while and leech off of younger pawns. Such is the life of aging union revolutionaries living off of the dues of young productive workers too scared to say no to their pimps.

The left threw everything they had into the Wisconsin judicial race. They invested emotional energy and more than $2 million. This was their stand, and they fell hard.

Like Ronald Reagan bankrupting the U.S.S.R., the right needs to force the left to spend every dollar on losing causes.

It is time to turn “hope and change” and “Yes, we can” into despair and “you never could and never will.”

The left may believe that money comes out of thin air, but even George Soros does not own a printing press. If he wants to throw bad money after worse, to quote George W. Bush, “bring it on.”

This is bigger than Wisconsin, and the left knows it. It may not be the leftists’ last gasp, but they are gasping nonetheless.

Let them come up with every trick in the book. Let them claim that evil white conservatives prevented blacks from voting. The fact that there are virtually no black people in Wisconsin can be rationalized by liberals as proof of the suppression to begin with. Minorities were so intimidated that they did not even live in the state on Election Day.

Let them claim that we should wait and count all the votes as they try to suppress the 14,000 votes that put Judge Prosser over the top.

Let them try and see if any dead people or felons voted, which will only reduce their own total.

The unions fought the dirty fight, and Judge Prosser still won.

Maybe some good will come of this. Maybe college students will see what I saw twenty years ago. Unions are an anachronism, and progressives block individual human progress. If students want to truly have better working conditions, they can go into high-paying careers. Maybe they can become self-employed and enjoy the sweet smell of creating success rather than living off others.

They will learn less about hermaphrodite Lichtenstein dinosaurs and get degrees in accounting, economics, and finance. They will not have time to protest or community organize, but they will have the skills to set up tax shelters and keep their own money.

So congratulations to those who supported Kloppenburg not because they knew anything about her (or anything about anything for that matter) but because they’d rather steal taxpayer money than become productive human beings.

They tried to turn back the hands of time to the decades past when they bullied with impunity.

Time has caught up with them, and the madams removing their oxygen masks to put on lipstick do not look pretty.

Your time is up, liberals. You just got clocked out.

Now go to sleep for a few hours, and clock back in at an actual job that produces actual things that benefit people.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
